With the School Summer Holidays almost over and thousands of children across the country clutching new shoes and book bags - many of you out there will be looking for that 'Indian Summer' holiday maybe even with a some Fishing in Devon thrown in on the banks of our well stocked lakes. And what a great time to consider taking a break - here at Newbarn Farm the hedgerows are brimming with juicy blackberries, rosehips, elderberries and sloes. And for those wishing to tale a self-catering Cottage and fishing, the banks will not be as busy as the summer months.
It won't be long before you will find me collecting these delights to turn into preserves, jellies, cook with apples for autumn crumbles or even better still ferment with gin to make Newbarn Farm's lovely Sloe Gin! But with the best will in the world I will be unable to gather every berry over 42 acres of hedgerows and bushes. Guests staying at Newbarn Farm are all very welcome to collect any of these native berries. It would be such a shame to waste all this naturally growing produce! And such a shame to miss a great Fishing in Devon Opportunity.
Not far from here there will be a great day out at Cockington Country Park when you can go and sample some of Cockington's bountiful blackberries, elderberries and other seasonal wild food specialities on a nature ramble around some of the more secluded parts of the Country Park. In the afternoon in Warren Barn, you be able to make a delicious syrup and preserve to take home with Lori Reich of Shute Fruit & Produce. You will also learn about further traditional uses of our native berries and nuts. All this for £10 on Saturday 6th September.
And to all you fishing folk out there we offer a discounted rate of ONLY £6.00 per day to fish any of our 6 fishing lakes here at Newbarn Farm a lovely Devon Fishing Holiday location.
